I remember reading 'Aspergirls' and feeling like it was written just for me. While there isn’t a direct sequel, Rudy Simone’s later book, 'Autism and Tomorrow', picks up where 'Aspergirls' left off. It’s more focused on the practical aspects of living as an autistic woman, which I found super relatable.
Another book that feels like a spiritual successor is 'Different, Not Less' by Chloe Hayden. It’s a mix of memoir and guidebook, and it’s packed with uplifting stories and advice. I also love 'Nerdy, Shy, and Socially Inappropriate' by Cynthia Kim—it’s another personal account that complements 'Aspergirls' really well. If you’re into podcasts, 'The Autistic Woman’s Nonverbal Podcast' by Terra Vance is a great listen. It’s not a book, but it covers similar topics in an engaging format.
I stumbled upon 'Aspergirls' a while back, and it really opened my eyes to the unique experiences of women on the autism spectrum. From what I know, the author hasn't released a direct sequel, but she did write another book called 'Autism and Tomorrow' which continues some of the themes. It delves into adulthood, independence, and navigating life with autism, which feels like a natural progression. If you loved 'Aspergirls', this might be the next best thing. I also recommend checking out 'Spectrum Women' edited by Barb Cook and Dr. Michelle Garnett—it's a collaborative work with contributions from autistic women and offers a broader perspective.
I've done a fair bit of digging into related works. While there isn't a traditional sequel, Rudy Simone, the author, expanded on her ideas in 'Autism and Tomorrow'. This book focuses on the challenges autistic women face as they transition into adulthood, covering topics like relationships, careers, and self-advocacy. It's a great follow-up for those who want more practical advice.
Another fantastic read is 'Women and Girls with Autism Spectrum Disorder' by Sarah Hendrickx. It’s more research-oriented but complements 'Aspergirls' by exploring similar themes with a slightly different angle. I also found 'The Awesome Autistic Go-To Guide' by Yenn Purkis and Tanya Masterman super helpful—it’s aimed at younger readers but has insights that resonate with all ages.
For those who enjoy personal narratives, 'Odd Girl Out' by Laura James is a memoir that echoes the authenticity of 'Aspergirls'. It’s not a sequel, but it feels like part of the same conversation. If you’re looking for a broader range of voices, 'Spectrum Women' is a compilation of essays by autistic women, and it’s incredibly empowering.

I’ve been obsessed with 'The Girls' ever since I stumbled upon it at a used bookstore last summer. The way Emma Cline writes about that eerie, cult-like atmosphere hooked me instantly. From what I’ve dug up, there isn’t a direct sequel, but Cline did release another novel called 'The Guest' in 2023, which has a similarly unsettling vibe. It’s not connected plot-wise, but fans of her style might enjoy it just as much.
Rumors occasionally pop up about a potential follow-up to 'The Girls,' but so far, nothing’s confirmed. Honestly, part of me hopes she leaves it as a standalone—sometimes the mystery is what makes a story linger. That said, if you’re craving more cult-themed fiction, I’d recommend 'The Ash Family' by Molly Dektar or 'The Girls’ Guide to Hunting and Fishing' for a lighter but still sharp take on female dynamics.
